Sheepshead Fish Mount 24
Price: $89.00
This Sheepshead fish mount is hand-made from Albizia Furcata wood. It is hand-painted using an air brush with a nitrocellulose lacquer top coat for a "wet-look" finish. This fish sculpture was carefully carved to create a fish replica. It is a half mount with a flat back with two holes for hanging on a wall. It is a beautiful hand-crafted piece of fish art that will surely get noticed by everyone who sees it.
